I am buiolding a shikari PSB 702 (8-15# line and 1/4 to 5/8 oz lures) and am trying to decide what size guides for the choke to tip guides. Either size 6 or 8. Line will be 10# mono or fluoro carbon and also 14# fireline with a leader. I will test cast, but looking for others experience also here to help decide. Re: guide sizes on spinning: choke to tip

#6's or #7's would be more than large enough. You won't be using even 10% of the available ring diameter with those size lines.

Thanks Tom. I was wondering since on my last spinning rod set up New Concept style was a St Croix 70 mlf and I used size 6's. However (with 6# mono) the 70 mlf with 1/4 oz weight was outcast my a 70 mf st. croix baitcaster with 12# mono (same 1/4 weight) and a curado. Seemed like the spinning should have out cast the casting and wondered if the line was being choked. Re: guide sizes on spinning: choke to tip

Spinning outfits will not cast as far as good baitcasting outfits, size for size. No, the line was not being choked. Run some through a #6 guide and see if you can get it to hang up or "choke."
